Army; Flag Over Yokohama!

(Continued From Page One)

set out for Yokohama in a cunvoy of Japanese automobiles and trucks. . Japanese troops with rifles | and sidearms stood every 100 yards | or'so with their backs to their road | on guard against any overt act by their countrymen. Paratroops of the 11th air-borne division, who will serve as MacArthur's bodyguards, piled into the Japanese trucks without comment. | Japanese officers saluted promptly as the convoy passed, and American officers returned the salute. Yokohama itself was a burnedout shell from American air raids. There was no resemblance to the great port that once housed nearly 1,000,000 Japanese and handled a quarter of the Japanese empire's trade. ¥ Trains and trolley cars were running, but few automobiles were in the streets. The Japanese watched the American convoy passing without any show of emotion whatsoever. Besides MacArthur, Spaatz, Kenney, Lt. Gen, Robert L. Eichelberger, commander of the 8th army, and Lt. Gen. Ennis C. Whitehead, commander of the 5th air force, set up headquarters in the new Grand hotel. 40,000 In by Nightfall Nearly 150 other officers also were guests in the hotel. Up to 40,000 troops had landed by sea and air on the southern approaches of. Tokyo by nightfall, Others waited aboard ships in Tokyo bay and at Okinawa airfields to join in the occupation. They were the vanguard of an occupation ‘army that ultimately is expected to total at least 500,000 troops on the Japanese home islands. The next occupation force is scheduled to land on the southern tip of Kyushu Sept. 3.

It was believed htat only recon-|

he stepped fromnhis plane after the flight from Okinawa. “Hello, Bob,” MacArthur said. “Hello, General,” Eichelberger relied. MacArthur was smoking his familiar long-stemmed corncob pipe and wore dark glasses. A crowd of G. I's quickly gathered about the plane. The sun was shining brightly. Members of the 11th airborne di-

Unload Swiftly

The planes unloaded their troops and supplies as rapidly as possible and immediately took off again for] Okinawa for additional loads. Com- | munications already had been put up by an advance party of 150] technicians who landed at Atsugi| two days ago. The Japanese had a fleet of automobiles and trucks and squads of interpreters on hand to aid in the occupation. The naval landings at the southern end of Tokyo bay went equally smoothly. The first American and British | marines went ashore on the three | fortified islands off Yokosuka naval base at 6:15 a. m. (4:15 p. m.| Wednesday, Indianapolis = time), | without even getting their feet wet. | The 4slands virtually were de- | serted. It was a far cry from the | bloody beaches of Guadalcanal, | Bataan and Okinawa for the 4th | marine regimental combat team of | the American 6th marine division. Not a single shot was fired, Take Over Guns Other units of the combat team | went ashore on Cape Futtsu at the | southeast corner of Tokyo bay, took | over guns and pillboxes guarding the entrance to the bay and raised the stars and stripes at T a. m.
